Pilgrim’s Picks for December 21 – “Go Home” Edition

Whenever I log into my RSS reader and see less than 1000 items to peruse, I know it’s going to be a light news day–perhaps I need to build my own forecasting widget.

Today was one of those days. What that means is that there’s really not much going on in the world of internet marketing news. That also means that after you’ve read the items below, you have my permission to go home–tell the boss I said it was OK. 😉

Don’t panic! If anything exciting happens today, we’ll let you know.

Techdirt reports that Amazon has patented “blurbs” and Google “snippets.” If you want “clips,” “bites,” or “smattering” you’d better get to the patent office ASAP.
